Rain, Rain, Go Away! Come again July 5th.

Jason had such a great 4th planned for out little family. This was the first time that he had planned a fun filled day just for us and I was really excited and encouraged about it. We were to go to church that morning and then for lunch we were going to grill shiskabobs and then he had bought a small pool so we were all going to swim together and then as it was getting dark he was going to build a small campfire and we were going to roast hot dogs and marshmallows and the do our fireworks. It was a great plan. Full of fun and activities that even the littlest one would enjoy.

And then it rained.

The girls did get to swim for a few minutes and we got to shoot 3 roman candles and do a few sparklers. The girls came up with the fun idea of putting a marshmallow on either end of a bamboo skewer. That seemed to be a big hit. I felt really bad for Jason. He was pretty disappointed that we didn't get to do everything. He had even gone and bought all the groceries all by himself.

But we made the best of it and just enjoyed each other's company and ate snacks and yummies all day long.
